In reply to Insomnia Trying to Withdraw from Zyprexa !, posted by ericcc on August 13, 2003, at 9:51:56
Eric, I too suffer from crippling insomnia, so I can really empathize. I do know that, although your brain is stuck in awake mode, you will sleep again. Because you have not slept for so long, I suggest you try another med such as Remeron which is easier to withdraw from. You have to get some sleep or you may go right over the edge...even a couple hours per night is sufficient. Zyprexa is infamous for its rebound insomnia. Just check out some of the insomnia boards on the net and you will find that others have had the same experience as you with this drug.
